Baba Yaga, Soul Weaver Matriarch (KST)

There is no doubt that Baba Yaga is one of the most respected and feared character in the high spheres of the Kurgan power.

Nobody knows exactly what her edge is.

Some even say that she was never actually born, and that she was there haunting the woods and weaving her witchcraft form the very first days of human history.

The thing on which everyone agrees is that her shamanic powers are immense.

For generations, she has been in charge of supervising the training of the young Soul Weavers. No one exactly knows how they are trained, or even why they are chosen, but the Yaga Matriarch and her acolytes are always roaming around, from large cities to the remotest villages to find gifted apprentices. They take the young girls with them when they are between 10 and 13 years of age, and they are not seen again for another 10 years. When they reappear, the little girls are grown-up women who radiate the Yaga amazing powers and aura.

The old Baba Yaga very much knows that she is perceived as a necessary evil by most of the Kurgan elite who shun her ancient powers. And so, it is often wondered why she so freely associates with them and support their military efforts.

But Baba Yaga sees through the fabric of time, and her motives are most likely too complex for most humans to understand...

THE KURGANOVA SHOCK TROOPS (KST)Led by the ultra-powerful Kurganov family, the Kurganova Shock Troops are a highly organized and disciplined army with underlying Eastern European themes. They also benefit from the support of strong cyber-enhanced paganic magic. This, among other things, allows them to 'waken' the 'were' gene that can transform some members of the Kurganova army into giant were-wolves or were-bears.
